When we are stilled like a lake, our depths are revealed to us.


"Sometimes we are clarified & calmed healthily as we never were before in our lives . . . so that we become like a still lake of purest crystal and without an effort our depths are revealed to ourselves.  All the world goes by us & is reflected in our deeps.  Such clarity!  Obtained by such pure means!  By simple living - by honesty of purpose - we live & rejoice."

Henry David Thoreau
